I happen to know (as the local university is next in line to fall victim to this f***er) that he makes the request to speak (without invitation from anyone in the university), and if he is not granted permission, he has a full legal team behind him ready to sue on 1st amendment protection arguments. The university is…

Is this fundamentally different from Peter Thiel’s grudge against Gawker?

Flynt is out in the open paying for factual information of crime, wrongdoing. One can argue such impeachable offenses already exist(obstruction of his Russia investigation comes to mind)on camera having occurred before everyone’s eyes.

His involvement was a secret, until after the verdict when Peter Thiel announced that he’d been bankrolling numerous nuisance lawsuits to drive Gawker out of business.

I know Bill Murray is the patron saint of the Internet, but he has a past of anger problems. And he was there during the coke-fueled raucous SNL days. I’m sure it would be sad for a lot of people who love him so much, but I wouldn’t be surprised one bit.

Amazing that Trump has lowered the decorum of the office of the Presidency so much someone out there compares it to a fringe politics site.

You only want money and power used by the side that is making the vast majority of people’s lives worse? Gee, I wonder what side you’re on.

A few weeks ago, I was telling everyone to calm down over the threat of nuclear war, because Kim was not nuts, just canny. Now we’re trying to speed through the visa application process to bring my spouse to the US, because we’re both pretty sure the Cheeto-in-Chief is determined to provoke a war here on the peninsula.

I am thinking about the end of “Sunset Boulevard” when William Holden narrates Gloria Swanson coming down the stairs, and says “..and she Unfolded on herself...”. I feel like I am witnessing it in real life.

The more I see him desperately doing stuff, the more I believe Bob Corker and that Vanity Fair story that he’s losing his shit and needs daycare.

Jared and Ivanka have gone from very high profile, constantly walking with their heads down, deep in thought, in front of TV cameras, to out of the picture. Something’s up there.

I in no way feel sympathy for him, but I think he’s unraveling rapidly at the seams. He’s drawing fewer people to his circlejerk rallies, the administration is up to its ass in lawsuits, despite changing staff repeatedly, the “leaks” haven’t stopped, the US government took a directive from HILLARY CLINTON on aid to…

Bingo. Never underestimate some people’s need for an absolute father figure, grotesque as they may be.

Are you incapable of understanding why people rapidly changing their opinion on something because the president Tweeted about it is potentially dangerous? You are using the term “loyalty to their country” to describe something else altogether. Which is “blind adherence to the rantings of a despot.”

Yup. And every day I don’t hear a tangible plan from Democrats I’m more and more convinced he’s getting re-elected.

Here’s an opening phrase I never thought I’d use: To be fair to Hitler supporters (JFC), by the time another World War started becoming a real possibility, he’d already seized power and opposing him very likely meant imprisonment and death. So most of them weren’t even making a true choice by that point.

None of this seems that unreasonable to me.

The most dumbfoundingly stupid part of this is: everything Trump blew up at the NFL for was already happening before Trump blew up about it. These people had heard of Colin Kaepernick, right? They follow the NFL, presumably? They knew that players were protesting? But their opinion of the league only changed when…

Drew summed this up perfectly in the Jamboroo today.
